I am an aspiring physician with a strong interest in mental health advocacy, community engagement, and scientific inquiry. As the founder and leader of my school’s Mental Health Awareness Society, I have led initiatives to raise awareness and funds for mental health, organized community events, and collaborated with local and international partners. My academic background includes completing the IB DIploma with Higher Level courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics, where I achieved the highest score in my cohort with 44/45 points. I have represented my school as a scholar at events with both local and foreign dignitaries. I also have experience in public speaking and leading youth-focused initiatives. I am passionate about combining medical knowledge with community-driven solutions to address mental health challenges and promote inclusivity in healthcare.
